Chapter 174: Lou Ban's Request

(Thank you for your continued support!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, City of Dreams, . Xiao Liangzi. 、ufgw)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the afternoon, the west gate of the White Wolf City was opened, and Ma Han led Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Wu Chai and three hundred white wolf horsemen, followed closely behind the Karasuma people, and galloped into the White Wolf Valley.

The generals of White Wolf City were not idle, Zhao Yun led three hundred white wolf horsemen to monitor the Karasuma cavalry into the White Wolf Valley; Le Jin returned to the White Wolf Camp and led the infantry to do a good job of guarding the camp; Tian Yu was in charge of the guard of White Wolf City, while Lu Dai and Tang Nu led a hundred horsemen to Xuanshui to monitor the Youzhou army on the south bank.

The reason why Ma Han made this decision stemmed from the last urgent letter he received, and no one could have imagined that the sender would have imagined that - Karasuma Satani Liwang Louban!

This is a letter brought by Lou Ban's henchmen, and the content of the letter is only one sentence: Please be sure to stop the kiss.

Lou Ban actually wants to stop Badun from welcoming his relatives and destroy the alliance between Liucheng Karasuma and the Yuan family! Did he get drugged? Or is there some conspiracy?

But Ma Han is not surprised at all, the infighting between the two factions of the Liucheng Karasuma people is no longer news. In the past two years since the rise of White Wolf City, it has been adjacent to Liucheng and has not been attacked by Liucheng Karasuma for three reasons: first, the Karasuma people are afraid of horses, and as long as the tribes hear that they are doing something to White Wolf City, they will basically not respond to the call; The second is that Lou Ban is resolutely opposed, with his huge influence among the Karasuma people, as long as he does not let go for a day, he will not be able to launch an effective attack on White Wolf City; The third is that Badun himself is actually not sure, the scene when Ma Han was killed at the foot of Xiaozhi Mountain shocked him too much.

Based on the above reasons, in the past two years, although the distance between White Wolf City and Liucheng is only three hundred miles, there have been occasional frictions, but there has been no major conflict.

Why is there such a disagreement between the two Karasuma first and second leaders of Bun Dun and Lou Ban? In fact, just think about the sensitive identities of these two people. From the day of the death of the Karasuma King Qiu Liju, the source of infighting has been buried.

Lou Ban, Qiu Liju's parent, the only legal heir, but because of his young age, he can only occupy the position of the king of Zuogu Li; Badun, Qiu Li is a servant of the son, and he temporarily takes the position of King Karasuma from his younger brother Lou Ban. That is to say, when Lou Ban reaches the age of eighteen, he will return to Lou Ban and give up the throne.

Bandun was already in front of the kings of Karasuma. The blood oath must be fulfilled, but since ancient times, it has not been heard of a person in a position of authority who willingly gave up power and voluntarily abdicated. The sweetness of power, once tasted, even a fool is unwilling to give up, let alone a self-proclaimed and ambitious Karasuma master.

But the problem is that there are some unpleasant reasons - Lou Ban has reached the age of eighteen. In three months, at the annual Dragon City Conference, Badon will announce his abdication. And this time with Yuan Shao's marriage alliance, all the benefits and benefits of the government. will all fall into the hands of Badun, even if he gives way, Lou Ban will not be able to get any of these benefits and benefits. And so it goes. These benefits can be used to control more tribes...... As long as Lou Ban is not a political idiot, he will definitely sabotage.

Obviously, Lou Ban is not. Or rather. There are people around him who are not. Not only that, but Lou Ban and his advisors could also think of a request...... Or to use Ma Han to prevent Bunton from welcoming his relatives, it must be said that the calculation is very accurate - because Ma Han also does not want to see Bunton benefit, which is not in the interests of White Wolf City.

Ma Han was only worried that rash action would arouse the anger of the Karasuma people, but now Lou Ban completely eliminated this possibility and sent this support to him.

Since this is the case, what else is there to worry about, it doesn't hurt to give Lou Ban a knife, and it can be regarded as a reward for him for being a shield for himself for two years.

Halfway through his journey, Ma Han encountered a messenger sent by Hiraoka Suri, who brought him the question he was most concerned about at the moment: what kind of team Yuan Shao had sent.

In the messenger's narration, Ma Han finally figured out that what Yuan Shao sent was indeed a team under the banner of sending relatives, but it was actually a team that sealed the alliance and sealed it. This can be seen from the status level of the envoy and the leader of the guard.

Jizhou sent a pro-envoy to Jizhou to engage in recruitment, and it is also an old acquaintance of Ma Han, it should be said that Yuan Shao sent this person as a special envoy to form an alliance with the Karasuma people, and he really didn't choose the wrong person. Zhao Zhao is proficient in Hu language, has a good understanding of Karasuma customs and style, and once led Karasuma Raid for Yuan Shao as a military general. It is most appropriate to send this person as an envoy to negotiate an alliance with Tamton.

The escort general is the cavalry governor Han Juzi, this person is the subordinate of the Fenwei general Chun Yuqiong, in the battle of the boundary bridge, he was only a military marquis, after several years of fighting, he also fought out of a cavalry governor's background, which can be regarded as a boil out.

There were more than 500 people in the procession, and more than 80 oxen and horses, of which 200 were servants and servants, and 300 were soldiers. There are 100 horsemen, and the armor, shields, and saddles are all fine; Two hundred foot soldiers, without armor, with swords, spears, bows, and arrows.

In such a hurry, Sully's information is quite detailed, but one important person is missing - who is the bride?

The Xianbei messenger said that he did not know the details, and only vaguely heard that it seemed to be Yuan Shaozong's daughter.

Zongnu, that is, the daughter of the uncle and brother of the same Zong, is equivalent to Yuan Shao's niece. Of course, this niece is also separated, some are nieces, some are cousins, but it doesn't matter whether they are relatives or cousins. The important thing is that she represents a posture of the Yuan family, as long as the marriage is completed, Yuan Shao will have a strong arm in the north, and he will be able to form a front and back attack on Gongsun Zhan. This is also the reason why Gongsun Chan urgently dispatched elite cavalry, and even sent his son to intercept it in person.

"Yuan Shao sent his relatives to the troops, Gongsun continued to follow the white horse, plus the Karasuma Rush who just arrived, hehe, it's lively now." A playful smile on Ma Han's face.

Pei Yuanshao added: "And us." ”

Zhou Cang also said: "Is this just for the praying mantis to catch it, let's go behind?" ”

Ma Han laughed loudly: "Yes, there are three prey, we are behind." ”

Only Wu Chai scratched his head and said in confusion: "It doesn't seem to be what you said......

……

It was already the morning of the third day when the three hundred wolves rode out of the white wolf road, anyway, he was not in a hurry, as Zhou Cang said, "We are behind", calmly, to be the last hunter.

Ma Han came at the right time, as soon as he came out of the mouth of the White Wolf Valley, what appeared in front of him was a strange situation of three-party confrontation and two-way onlookers.

Three-way confrontation: Jizhou Sending Relatives Troops, Youzhou Gongsun Xu Baima Yicong, Liucheng Karasuma Tooth Tent Cavalry Guard.

Two onlookers: Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan of White Wolf City have a total of 800 white wolf horsemen; Hiraoka Suri 500 Xianbei fine ride.

As soon as Ma Han appeared, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan immediately stepped forward to salute. And so it goes. The three White Wolf City men and horses merged into one unit, more than a thousand horses, becoming the most powerful of the five forces.

At this time, a group of Xianbei cavalry escorted Su Li on horseback, and from a distance, Su Li shouted: "It is really not a good sign that such a thing happened at the door of the house as soon as the New Year arrived." ”

One of the leaders of the Eastern Xianbei was a guy about thirty years old, with a slightly thin face and a pair of eyes flashing with shrewdness. But at the moment, the expression on his face was very unsightly.

The two met each other and hugged each other on the horse, looking quite affectionate.

Ma Han smiled: "But what can I do? Can the king be expelled? ”

Su Li smiled bitterly: "Expulsion? I will also provide them with felt, buttermilk, drinking water, fodder, sheep and cattle, and even bowstrings and arrows......"

Ma Han also smiled, he knew that what Su Li said must be the truth, with Su Li's strength, none of the three parties could afford to offend.

Needless to say, before Ma Han occupied White Wolf City, the overlord of Liaoxi had always been Liucheng Karasuma. Basically, all the Hu people in western Liaoxi, whether they were Karasuma or Xianbei, submitted to Liucheng. Now that there is one more White Wolf City to compete with, the Liaoxi Hu people have a new choice. Some of them fell to White Wolf City, of which the eastern Xianbei was the most. But after many years of accumulation, Su Li would not dare to offend Yanagi Karasuma no matter what.

Youzhou Gongsun Zan is not something that a little Su Li can contend with. Naturally, it cannot be offended. It seems that only Jizhou Yuan Shao is a little farther away, but in the past two years, the people of Jizhou have been defeated and retreated, and their momentum is blazing. Su Li, who even the people of Youzhou dare not offend, dare to be rude to the people of Jizhou? The result can only be like a grandson in the cracks, all parties sell well, except for not giving soldiers and horses, what they want.

After a hurried meeting, Ma Han and Su Li agreed to meet in Pinggang Castle in the evening to discuss in detail, and then said goodbye to each other.

Ma Han galloped towards Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan's station on the hillside, and asked the two about the situation in the past two days. Tong Guò and the two complemented each other, and Ma Han basically sorted out the formation of this three-way confrontation.

When Xiahou Lan monitored Gongsun Xu's exit from the White Wolf Valley Road, he confirmed that Gongsun Xu had no abnormal intentions, and when he was about to turn around, it happened that the people of Jizhou appeared in sight. Without saying a word, Gongsun Xu immediately launched an attack on the people of Jizhou.

Jizhou has few men and horses, but fortunately, Zhao and Han Juzi are people who have been in battle for a long time, first with cavalry to contain the white horse Yicong, and then the foot soldiers surrounded more than 80 vehicles in a circle, and placed sharp spears between the cars to resist the cavalry. Foot soldiers and servants hid behind the cart, armed with bows, crossbows, and spears to resist. In this way, he blocked Gongsun Xu's successive rounds of onslaught. It's just that the people of Jizhou have too few troops after all, and the elite is far behind, and there are too many miscellaneous servants in the car formation who have not seen the sword and soldier battle array, these people are crying and shouting, adding a lot of chaos.

Just when the people of Jizhou were about to lose it, a savior appeared, and the Karasuma people came. As soon as this new force came up, it shot and killed thirty or forty white horse righteous servants, and the shape was reversed, and the Youzhou people turned from attack to defense, and confronted the Jizhou people and Karasuma people. This situation has lasted for a day and a night.

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "After the Battle of the Self-Boundary Bridge, Bai Ma Yi is no longer the original elite of the vertical and horizontal army......

Historically, Bai Ma Yi was crushed by a blow from the first death soldier and never recovered. In this time and space, although it was saved by the appearance of Ma Hu, it was still hit hard, and many of the white horse servants who were supplemented later no longer had the original veteran elite. And the worst thing is that after an elite military soul is defeated and dispersed, it has not been effectively restored, and its combat effectiveness has plummeted and declined sharply. With more hits and fewer shots, it's okay to beat the Jizhou people who are less than 100 horsemen, but once they hit the Karasuma Seiki, it won't work......

Just as Zhao Yun sighed, several fast horses galloped out from behind the tripartite array and galloped towards the White Wolf Camp station.

After a while, the white wolf warriors reported one after another.

"The city guard, Jizhou is in the middle of the rule, please ask the city guard to go to the main formation."

"Yucheng Shou, Captain Gongsun of Youzhou asks the city guard to go to the main formation."

"The castle guard, the Karasuma people ask the castle guard to go to the main camp for a while."

Ma Han couldn't help laughing, damn, when did Lao Tzu become a fragrant glutton? (To be continued......)
